RE: Collapsible baton. As I remember, ya need a training course to carry . That said, look at the " Mean Gene Leather " sap type change purses. I carry one from time to time. They are well made and reasonably priced.

An interesting factoid to ruminate upon... Nickel plated Colts made up about 10% of Colt's production. These are, indeed, rare birds. GLWS ...

Hate ta hear about your bad luck.
We always used the setscrew style pins on the hard kickers. They will stay put. I simply don't like the spring latch pin setup for heavy duty use.

Do you have a favorite model and/or load out, Leroy? Any lessons learned from usage or mistakes made? Any advice is welcomed!
I've used em all... The one I like is the " Original ". I'ma thinkin it's about 11 inches wide by 8 inches tall by 1.5 thick. I like this one because he will easily carry a big pistol or revolver, which is what I got him for.
As I remember, there is one that is a bit larger volume wise, which would work great for carrying first aid n edc stuff. If ya are smaller across the chest, they make a " stubby " which is a bit shorter. It will easily hold a subcompact pistola. I've carried the Glock subcompacts ( 26, 33, 27 ) in him easily.
These bags work exactly as ya would think, are of a bombproof build quality. There is nothing bad to say about em, other than they are pricey. Price is the main drawback, especially now that others are copying the concept.
I would look at the 511 stuff too, but I haven't tried their chest bag. Hope this helps a bit.

They said there was not a tipster that earned the reward. If so, I would like to see the reward money given to the fallen Officer's family.
I think this is very interesting... RE: Reward... I agree...

The sizing die isn't sizing the neck small enough for bullet not to fall into case body, none of them.
The sizing die simply is not re sizing the case neck. Check this out...
https://sierrabullets.wordpress.com/2016/05/26/how-important-is-neck-tension/.
I ain't sure why, but it isn't. The seating due simply pushes the bullet into the case and adds a crimp. It will not help resize the neck.

"Your seating die isn’t the issue."
It won't crimp enough, why isn't it the problem?
The sizing die is supposed to make the neck smaller than the bullet so ya get neck tension on the bullet. Neck tension is what holds the bullet in the neck, the crimp is just " the icing on the cake ".
I think you measured the expander ball at .220... A 223 bullet is .223 or .224 diameter. Three to 4 thousands larger.
This " interference" is what adds the " neck tension " to hold the bullet in the case mouth. The bullet can only fall thru into the case if the neck has not been resized after firing.

I have a few of the TN Arms Co polymer lowers from a few years ago built up. I haven't had a single issue with them. If you are going lightweight I think the KP-15 setups are tough to beat. Also a very slippery slope where you start losing your oz/$ pretty quick.
I'ma thinkin my buddy's lower is a TN Arms...

Been watching this a bit. As others have opined, I think the sizing die is not sizing the case neck.
You could have a bad sizing die or the die is adjusted wrong. The guys that tell ya to run the sizing die all the way to the top of the shell holder are right.
With the ram down, adjust the die to touch the top of the shell holder. Run a case thru and check the shoulder space.
Adjust further down from there by trial and error about 1/8 to 1/4 turn at a time to get the shoulder spacing right using a case gage. That should fully size the case neck.
I would also take another look at the expander ball. It could be too large.
If the rounds you are loading are for an AR, I would recommend a RCBS Small Base sizing die ( if they still make em ) if the above die set up won't work.

Except they aren’t having many trials, at least around here. Shelby County held less than 40 criminal trials in 2023. This is not due to increased plea bargains and such; on the contrary, nothing is getting done and the backlog is getting bigger. On any given day, you can walk around at 201 and it’s a ghost town.

At some point our justice system should be held accountable.
Greg has spoken a great truth here...
I've believed for a long time that " the justice system" ain't about justice at all. It's a financial enterprise.
The more trials n hearings, the more lawyer fees. This works just fine until ya get a genuine killer like this guy.
Ray Charles could tell ya this guy was headed for this end.
We need to stop plea bargains and judicial deference. The people running the " justice system " by and large are not honest nor wise enough for " bargains " and " deference "...

Not that it will stop these idiots from passing a law they know is unconstitutional, but the SCOTUS has already ruled that an infringement on ammo is the same as an infringement on firearms. Sadly, the twits that pass these laws have unlimited tax payer dollars to defend these laws in court.
This is a great truth. There ain't gonna be any " ammo bans " and they know it.

I have a 16” AR, iron sights, fixed stock, loop sling and a can. I shoot that nearly every time I’m at the range. There is something pure about iron sights and positional shooting... ...
I love this. Shoot more rifles..!!!
The greatest rifle match I ever went to was the great " Over the Log " muzzle loader match that used to be held at the Alvin York home place in early spring every year.
Men n women shooting great muzzle loading rifles " over the log " at targets 40 yards away ( I think ) with iron sights n shooting the center out of the hourglass cross...
There is nothing greater nor more American. America was made great by American Riflemen. We all need ta shoot the rifle we like most more often.

If ya have a progressive loader ( I do... A Dillon 650 ), I would strongly recommend that ya choose a powder that cannot double charge a case without spilling out of the case.
Using fast burning powders in progressive loaders is a genuine hazard, even if ya can see in every case.
If you use a single stage press, look at the powder level in every case.
I habitually prep and expand the cases, then I add powder as a stand alone step, usually prepping them 50 at a time.
I then look in every single case to verify the powder level. I also may check weigh the powder charge out of a few of the cases as well.
I find myself reloading more and more in the old single stage press than the Dillon; especially when loading the bigger cases with powders like Unique, 231, or Titegroup...

I do not mean to diminish the gravity of the situation. What I'm saying is that an old man asleep in the bed in Macon County can't do much to help it.
Don't worry Brother. No offense taken. I'm about like you Brother, it's just close to home .
